Project Description

PROBLEM:

Celebrity culture is everywhere- it's even in the White House now.

WE empower celebrities to be wealthy and powerful through our clicks, likes and streams. They go on to have multimillion dollar brand endorsements, collaborations, #1 albums and box office smashes without any acknowledgement or harnessing of the power of the FAN to create the platforms our faves now have. WE are the most powerful aspect of "celebrity" and Tinsel was created to give us that power back.

SOLUTION:

Tinsel gives the power back to the fans to determine who or what is hot or not and to profit off of that power.

On our celebrity stock market celebrities are "valued" by an algorithm that calculates how much action he or she is valued on the Tinsel market. The market "action" is, of course, driven by players reacting to celebrity news in real time by adding or trading "shares" of that celeb.

Tinsel is where TMZ meets the stock market.

Read and watch all your favorite celebrity sources right in our app.

You then take how you feel about that news to decide buy and sell shares of over 500 celebrities on our Tinsel market.

Earn points when the celebrities you're holding go up in value. Convert those points into rewards! Why shouldn't you get something when Cardi B's album goes platinum? You've been stalking her Instagram for years! You KNEW she would be hot. In fact, you did more than just know it...you made it happen!

PRODUCT FEATURES:

- Find all your favorite celeb sites and pages in one place

- See who is trending on the market

- Drop people from your portfolio when you're over them (helping them to trend downwards) or pick up extra stock in someone you're loving even more (helping their popularity on the market)

- When your favorite celebs' values increase (because you were right about them after all) watch your points go up

- Friend other players and see how their portfolios are doing

- Turn those points into a latte or new mascara, courtesy of Kim Kardashian

YOUR INVESTMENT...

...gets you exclusive access to our current build and, more importantly, allows us to pay our developers to finish up their work and GET US INTO THE APP STORE for everyone to enjoy! With the $20,000 we will also fund our initial marketing strategy. We just need this one last push. This moment has been years in the making and we're so excited to be only $20,000 away from sharing Tinsel with the world.
